That Call Before 7am - Page 2

I'm sorry to have never had the pleasure, but I've always heard of him spoken of in strictly glowing terms. Thanks for the tribute. My heart is with you both.

I got a call from Aud this morning about 8. I was pouring coffee and didn't get to the phone in time. I figured that she had butt dialed me because no one calls me that early unless it is urgent. I suspected the worst and called back immediately.

Aud had the most amazing relationship with her Dad. They would meet for breakfast dates before work fairly regularly. He was, beyond being her beloved father, he was a cherished friend. I was in awe of their relationship, greatly admired it and was secretly jealous of it.

I only had the pleasure of meeting him once but the memories of his stories and his warmth have never left me. I have feared this day for Audra, her brother and her Mom. A giant hole has opened up in the world today, but the hole is so giant because he was such an amazing presence while on this earth.

Rest in peace, dear man. You loss will be felt by many.

I'm so sorry. You both are in my thoughts.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Please pass this on to Audra for me. I just recently lost my brother unexpectedly so i know what she is going thru.

I'm so sorry for your loss of a beloved man.

The world lost a good one this morning - and I regret missing the opportunity to finally deliver his piece of pie.

My thoughts go out to you NM & EH, and I'll raise a glass myself to celebrate his life, and offer what comfort I can to his survivors.

I had the good fortune to spend a couple of hours conversing with this charming man many years ago at a party that EH and LSPE threw. I clearly remember it as one of the most interesting conversations of my life. Peter was an interesting yet humble man and I regret not talking with him more besides the one meeting.

I also knew of him through EH and others. He was a warm, loving man and will be missed. He has left his mark indelibly on this mortal earth and I am glad to have been a part of his life, however briefly it may have been.
